Place cards aren’t something you see everyday. I would venture a guess that most people only come across place cards at weddings or other more formal events, and even then they aren’t always a given. But I do love place cards.

I aspire to someday have enough people over for a dinner party so I can use name cards without feeling silly. And when I do have that dinner party, these are the place cards I will use.
